FEEDING in autumn can be a challenge for horse owners. With changeable weather and the temperature slowly but surely dropping, it is important to make some gradual changes to your horses diet in preparation for the winter months.

Some horses may not transition well if you are moving them from grass to hay so it is important to keep a close eye on their eating habits and behaviour. If your horse is vulnerable to laminitis and is still out on grass, be careful as they are still at risk at this time of year if there is a late flush of grass.
